Since early on, Tom had a keen interest in flying, innovation and technology, so an aviation and drone/UAV based career path has been the perfect fit for him. Tom has been piloting drones since 2012 and obtained his UAV Ground School certification soon after that. To be just a little different from everyone else, Tom went from drones to piloting real aircraft and obtained his private pilot’s license (PPL) in 2015. Since then he has gone on to earn his multi-engine license and is studying hard towards his full instrument and commercial flight ratings. Tom is the proud owner of a 1977 Cessna 337G, which he uses to transport his drone teams and equipment to and from job sites and to get the “big picture” in aviation. These days Tom is happiest building custom camera rigs in the shop, flying whatever he can get his hands on, and shooting stunning photos and video using available technologies.
